Sunnis plagiarise Lahore Ahmadi translation of the Holy Quran

It seems that Sunnis are happy to call us all sorts of nasty names, and to condemn, verbally abuse and imprison us in various countries around the world. But that does not stop them from plagiarising the works of our members!

The English translation of the Quran attributed to the name M. H. Shakir has been widely available in print since the 1980s. It is probably the most widely accessible on websites, including reputable academic websites such as the following:

University of Virginia Librabry
University of Michigan, University Library
University of South California, Muslim Students Association (USC-MSA)

A comparison shows the Shakir translation to be an entire and wholesale plagiarism of the first, 1917, edition of the English translation of the Holy Quran by Maulana Muhammad Ali

I’m trying to get a continuous conversation going on Islamic and Muslim topics like the ones raised in this article. I envision that some conversations will help Muslims to reach a consensus on important issues that currently divide Muslims. Other discussions will be designed to provide a forum for people of all religions to discuss Islam in an open environment. The website is http://www.discussislam.org/
